Lunch with Maria Fernanda's Colleague

Was invited to a lunch with my colleague, Maria Fernanda. A gathering with her colleagues in the company dat she works with.

We went for a site-tour at her office, and then the whole office went out for lunch at this place which looks like a stadium to me. There were plenty of things to look at, as it is actually a market fair. People are busy choosing stuff like jerseys, handicraft and so on.

The restaurant that we went to was nicely decorated, with confettis hanging on the ceilings and big screen of TV showing world cup games.

I loved the food there esp the banana coated with sesame seed. The onion rings was great too!!My lunch-mate are a bunch of young, lively and jovial people and i enjoyed the food and companion soo much!! One thing is.. Brasilian doesnt really have a veri good time concept. The luch lasted more than a three hr !!! and half of the time spent on talking and drinking. I was so eager to ruch back to office, but they just seemed incredibly comfortable spending the extra long lunch time in the restaurant. Well.. i guessed thats just their culture, care-free & 'do first worry later' attitude.
